▬ connections。

- the connections can be tweaked to fit the characters! (some of them have past and present connections)

⚘ all it needs is a glass.
➤preferably male, but female works too!
➤any past lives.
➤one night stand, or no strings attached? could either be angst like having one night with your crush but she thinks it's not going further than that or tension such as you feel like you are just disposable.
➤0/1.
➤when sooyeon wakes up beside you finding herself all with a headache, she knows it is a mistake. you caught her on the way leaving the room, but she spared you no glances while leaving, as if last night was just a fever dream. but if fate pulls you in, you find no resistance to it. same bar, same corner, same lady. you scoot closer to her and find out she's dealing with her problems, and with all that bottled inside her you could be her only way out. she is a beauty, but are you going to give her that knowing she will leave without saying goodbye again?

⚘ blurred lines.
➤any gender
➤any past lives.
➤angst, crushing on her but she only treats you like a close friend.
➤0/1.
➤you don't even need to call her, showing up at the bar and there she is, drinking herself as if there is no tomorrow. you pick her up, but instead she pulls you in and whispers, 'stay'. that moment, you look into her eyes that seem to always draw you in, heart skipping a beat. you know you have feelings beyond as a friend for her, but to her there seems to be a transparent wall between you, and she keeps on unintentionally walking into your space. could you say no to her, or are you just going to enjoy this goddamn torture?

⚘ child tutor
➤any gender
➤any past lives.
➤slightly crack, funny? with bickering and all that.
➤0/1.
➤she hires you as her child tutor, teaching whatever subject that you are good at. but only god knows you are not a legitimate tutor, and starting from the second lesson she already sensed something fishy about you. as funny as it sounds, sooyeon doesn't just fire you but instead, let you stay as a half-tutor and babysitter. on one side you are lucky to have remained your income source, but again you can't help but to go at the mother who seems to care for her job more than her son.

⚘ if it is not for my job, i am punching you.
➤any gender
➤any past lives.
➤crack and funny? jfkdfj she is your counsellor for your career choices and no matter what she suggests, you are just being an indecisive b*tch.
➤0/1.
➤her working environment can be quite dynamic depends on the people coming to her for counseling. some can be quite determined, once she lays out some choices they can immediately agree on it and go, but there are some like you, who doesn't seem to know where your direction lays. it is not your fault, and it is not hers too, but you certainly no idea what you want on your plate and she hopes that she can send you off already.

♛ stay and decay。has been claimed!

( !!! ) all of these can be tweaked and will be expanded on upon claiming!

　 　♛ empty crown。
　 　» any gender.
　 　» any past life.
　 　» angst, friendship, some fluff in between. i aim to mostly explore ai's character here, and i would like it to be the same for you too! but we'll see how it goes.
　 　» 0/1.
　 　» there is a song that you hear every night in the meadows, a tune that reaches your heart and grips it tightly. it is what draws you to come every night, if only to listen to the music that fills the night. ai doesn't sing, no — instead she lets the notes sing for her, speak her heart. but one night she stops playing, only sitting in front of her instrument. one night turns into two, and one more night gives you the push that you need to finally approach the seemingly lonely maiden by the flower bed.

　 　♛ saints。
　 　» any gender.
　 　» any past life.
　 　» ex-lovers/flings? no need for permanent romance between them! ai will likely run away before it actually blooms into something anyway. i just like tension, is all. no need to write the y deets bc i too am @__@
　 　» 0/1.
　 　» no strings attached. it's supposed to be like this the first time you've ended up together in your bed under the influence of liquor. you'd meet time and time again in seek of alcohol comfort, but not all of those times together were spent in bed. sometimes you stay up until 4 simply talking. sometimes you go out together. the distance between you seems to have lessened — but ai has never told you about who she is, what she's done, and why she's here. and it is because of that, that she stops seeing you the moment you hint that there's something else out of fear that your image of her will change. but fate has its own sense of humor, and the two of you meet in a place neither of you are likely to escape from without outside help.

　 　♛ bury me low。
　 　» any gender.
　 　» any nobles or royalty — someone who doesn't have a "clean" reputation.
　 　» tension! hatred! bickering! what more can i say? i love tension!!
　 　» 0/1.
　 　» ai has sworn to change, she really has. but you really bring out the worst in her. whenever the two of you meet, it's as if flames dance around the two of you in the most destructive way possible. being civil is there, the mere tip of an iceberg, but there is a stab to every word, a hit to every glance. some would even say that one of you may end up killing the other one day — and ai is beginning to think they're right. she may just die because of you one day.

　 　♛ stay and decay。
　 　» any gender.
　 　» any past life — someone who has a more... positive outlook in life.
　 　» relatively soft? but still a little sad? reconstructing one's perception of life and herself, basically. pure friendship if you want! we'll see where it goes.
　 　» 0/1.
　 　» despite having lived a full lifetime — living until her 80s — ai doesn't think she's ever learned how to be just human. and then comes you, someone who's bright and warm enough to melt what she has always thought to be an ice cold heart of hers. slowly, very slowly, you teach her what the world is beyond the grand palace she's lived for more than 60 years.

㈠ whiskey & morphine。
⤷ male
⤷ age: 25+ (or older than her)
⤷ past life preference: none but pls a boy-toy trope like she had with robert devereaux
⤷ genres & themes: drama, angst, possible fluff [ romance depends on chemistry between characters ]
⤷ claim: 0/1
― the baudelaires are known to be extravagant, holding galas and balls every change of season as if they changed their clothes. and celeste is no different; every year, she hosts an annual benefit and amidst the glitz and glam and the hours of dancing under the chandelier, there is no hiding the fact that Celeste Baudelaire is an aloof woman, one who most definitely holds the mysterious keys to the world in her palms. in a curious approach and perhaps a glass of champagne or even the whole bottle, you lose yourself into each other in a fit of momentary lust. And what happens when, somehow, fate or karma or this wretched thing called kismet somehow puts you in each other’s path again but this time, completely sober and with cool heads given how she is and more? for just like whiskey and morphine, for one night, you've lit her on fire and soothed her all the same.


㈡ i don't know if you want me to come over。
⤷ male or female
⤷ age: same age
⤷ past life preference: none
⤷ genres & themes: ex-lover/ex-best friend, angst, drama [ romance depends on chemistry between characters ]
⤷ claim: 0/1
― you've known Celeste for what feels like eons and in the years together, there has been instances where you both end up in each other's beds. but to her, it's nothing more than what it is for the mere moment and you're nothing more than just a very close friend. not more, not less. perhaps you've tried telling her of your feelings, to try and convince the headstrong woman that you can give her the stars if she allows it or maybe you've kept it to yourself for fear of losing the little of what you both have. but things got strange when she married and distances grew when she divorced. so now, in this present time and day, knowing she is a single mum at the head of a trillion dollar empire, do you muster the courage to go for her heart again?


㈢ nothing gets better than this。
⤷ male or female
⤷ age: older
⤷ past life preference: none but somewhat akin to elizabeth southwell, her maid in waiting.
⤷ genres & themes: friends, comfort, fluff with mild angst tropes
⤷ claim: 0/1
― you're her sole source of comfort; you're what tethers her to the humble ground, to allow her to open her heart to the possibilities of the mundane world and most importantly, you're the person she can go to for anything and everything. it's rare for her to have friends, even rarer to have people she can confide in but once she's made that connection, there is little to nothing that can break it.


㈣ bad guy。
⤷ male or female
⤷ age: same or older
⤷ past life preference: someone in her entourage or related or in that era of her death aka circa 1600-16003
⤷ genres & themes: drama [tw might include blackmail, emotional abuse and even violence]
⤷ claim: 0/1
― a hum, that's all she knows you as. or maybe you're her conscience speaking. regardless, your voice is the last she ever hears as she parts from her first life. she does not remember what you were saying, just the fact that your voice chilled her to the bones. until you meet, through unconventional terms, in this day and age and she realizes, there is more to you than what it seemed. you're the card that was nailed at her death bed when she died, you're who she has nightmares of every night. will she do anything in her power to avenge herself and seek her own justice? or is there an ounce of mercy in her?
